Another great bow, Marc.  Love those pyramids.  Don't you love resurrecting unfinished projects?  I love to bring new knowledge to an old project.

Nice bow Marc,  I still have that great HHB stave from our earlier trade, that inspires me to get going on it.   I have never used HHB before, can I treat it like Osage when I lay out the design? Or more like I would hickory.
Again very nice bow.
Thanks,

Mark

I would treat HHB more like Osage, without the need to chase a ring.

Had the opportunity to shoot this bow at a clout shoot yesterday.  It launches an arrow out there pretty good.  My first shot went about 50 yards past the target and I was short drawing the bow by about 1".  That was the first time I have had the time to shoot a bow, besides testing them, in quite a while.  It was fun
